Magical Mayo

The Irish Times recently ran a competition to find the best place to go wild in Ireland with Erris in NW Mayo coming out on top of the exciting list.

Inspired by this,I ventured to Ballina in Mayo seeking to experience some of the true wilderness that Ireland has to offer. I was not to be disappointed with the rugged landscape and wildlife exceeding my expectations. I will be following up this with details of various aspects of the trip, central to this site including landscape, flora and fauna. The next posts will be anecdotal slices of wild Ireland and hopefully they will cheer and inspire.The first post is about the magical mayo landscape. Watch this space.
